Unit 4. Producing and Reusing OERS for Virtual Mobility
4.1 Produce an OER
To produce an OER you should decide what tools or electronic resources to use, as well as the formats (multimedia, text, etc). In any case you should decide under what type of licence to support the openness of the content produced - a Creative Commons Licences other or similar licence (Topic Introduction to intellectual Property and Creative Commons Licence). This is the key aspect to transform the resource created in an open educational resource.
When planning the OER it is important to define some items previously:
- What is the aim of your OER?
- What are the learning goals?
- Who are the VM learners?
- What level are they at?
- How will the OER be delivered and reused (what permissions/license)?
